Old Forge House, Sockbridge, Penrith, Cumbria

Set in a peaceful position on the edge of this sought-after village beside the Lake District National Park, with easy access to the Ullswater Valley, a traditional, spacious and flexible, Grade II listed detached home with 3 receptions, 3 bedrooms and generous gardens.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, Old Forge House is an attractive and characterful home occupying a prime position within the historic part of the village, just outside the boundary of the Lake District National Park. Enjoying a peaceful yet highly convenient setting, the property lies within easy reach of Penrith (3.5 miles) and the stunning Ullswater Valley and Pooley Bridge (3 miles).

A historic property, Grade II listed, with a lintel inscription of 1741, the house has been well cared for throughout its most recent period of ownership, and offers exciting scope for sympathetic updating and enhancement, and is an excellent opportunity to create a superb long-term home tailored to individual tastes.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, comprising an entrance hall with WC, an inner hallway connecting the living room, sitting/dining room and kitchen, together with a separate pantry and conservatory to the ground floor. To the first floor are three double bedrooms and a well-proportioned five-piece family bathroom.

Occupying a generous elevated plot, the property is surrounded by mature, well established gardens and hedging which provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, whilst the elevated position allows for excellent natural light throughout the day.

Combining character, space and significant further potential in a highly desirable village location, Old Forge House is a rare opportunity and early viewing is highly recommended.
